Urinary system stones are at least three times more common in men than in women. The likelihood of stone recurrence within five years for individuals who have previously passed a stone is 50%. It is also known that genetic factors play a role in stone formation. Individuals with a family history of stones have twice the likelihood of developing kidney stones. Therefore, it is recommended to drink at least 2.5 liters of water in summer and 1.5 liters in winter. Exercise is also important for patients in this condition. Active people have a lower risk of stone formation. Excessive weight (obesity) is a significant risk factor for stone formation. Kidney anomalies may also pave the way for the formation of stones. If kidney stones are not treated, it can lead to the loss of the kidney.

Urinary Incontinence (Incontinence)

Urinary incontinence is a common complaint, particularly among middle-aged women and elderly patients. The most common types of urinary incontinence are "Stress Incontinence," which develops due to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting heavy objects, and daily activities). Stress Incontinence is a treatable condition. Pre-surgery treatment options include biofeedback, pelvic muscle strengthening, hormone therapy during menopause, and electrical stimulation. Surgical complications are very rare. These include injuries to the urethra, bladder injuries, and prolonged temporary catheter use post-operation.
